Rejoice, everyone: this time, if the stands are empty at a Vanderbilt game, it’s because of COVID-19 and not because everybody left in the third quarter of a blowout loss to UNLV.
Vanderbilt University announced today it would begin the fall athletics season without spectators at home events now through the end of October.
For the record, this is more than likely the smart thing to do, though it will probably come with a financial hit due to the loss ot revenue not only from ticket sales, but also concessions, merchandise sales, and whatever else people spend their money on at Vanderbilt Stadium.
